What happens once the space shuttle orbiter reaches space?
When the orbiter of the space shuttle reaches space. it mainly performs its mission tasks. Before year 2000 space shuttles were mainly, not necessarily, used for taking cargo into space such as satellites and especially the Hubble Space Telescope. After the start of the International Space Station Program, Space shuttles were mainly used for building the space station in space. when orbiters reached space, they would usually deploy their cargo and astronauts would carry out the required procedure. the space shuttles usually docked with space station and returned to earth after the completion of mission

How long does it take to get to Uranus from earth with a space shuttle?
Space shuttles are not equipped to go on long distance voyages, nor can they hold enough fuel. shuttles are mostly used for travel to and from the International Space Station and low earth orbit. If you had an infinite supply of fuel and you could just rocket in a strait path while Uranus is at the closest point in its orbit it would only take a bit over a year. Unfortunately, you have to factor in the gravitational pull of surrounding bodies and as previously stated the limited amount of fuel. so it would be much much longer.
